A Message of Warning & Hope - Ezra Taft Benson Society

A Message of Warning and Hope from Ezra Taft Benson

We are fast approaching that moment prophesied by Joseph Smith when he said:

Even this Nation will be on the very verge of crumbling to pieces and tumbling to the ground and when the constitution is upon the brink of ruin this people will be the Staff up[on] which the Nation shall lean and they shall bear the constitution away from the very verge of destruction.

George Washington stated, "Truth will ultimately prevail where there are pains taken to bring it to light." To bring the truth to light is our challenge -- this day and everyday.

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." (John 8:32)

To Moses God said: "....proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." (Lev. 25:10)

Why? For God knows full well that the gospel -- His plan for the blessing of His children can prosper only in an atmosphere of freedom.

To modern men God has said: the Constitution "should be maintained for the rights and protection of all flesh." (Doctrine and Covenants 101:77)

I feel it is always good strategy to stand up for the right, even when it is unpopular. Perhaps I should say, ESPECIALLY when it is unpopular.

If we desire to be numbered among those who will, here are some things we must do:
1. We must be righteous and moral...
2. We must learn the principles of the Constitution and then abide by its precepts...
3. We must become involved in civic affairs...
4. We must make our influence felt by our vote, our letters, and our advice...

To the patriots I say this: Take that long eternal look. Stand up for freedom no matter what the cost. It can help to save your soul -- and maybe your country.

Ron Paul for President! 2012!!!!

[1994buttons]

The constitution is not dead, but it is hanging by a string and we will fight for it, all of us who love this country, do not give up We will win! We will make this great country great again, we may see some bad times, but we will survive. God Bless this country! God bless all of us who love it!

[wasuretta]

He is describing Dr. Ron Paul.

[Blaseboniface]

The only candidate opposed to unconstitutional wars, opposed to the NDAA which along with the Patriot Act destroys the Bill of Rights, in favor of sound currency, and a Government whose function is to protect Liberty, a Government that must operate strictly within the Law set down in the Constitution: RON PAUL 2012!

[1192pegasista]

A good lesson. Historically, empires first fell when they gained too much power and abandoned their morals. This pattern is also evident in the Book of Mormon.

[UnicyclerTube]

The background music is very distracting from the message. Do you have a version without instrumental overlay?

[snickeroos]

Stand for truth and freedom! Ron Paul - 2012!!!

[garckr75]

Thank you for putting all of those clips together!!! Wonderful!

[2wheels88]

If you have not read the hidden part of the 13th Ammendment then you do not know that America was sold out from under you long ago and that tri cities The city of London Corporation under fabian socialist rule and the vatican city and the state of of columbia have turned your great nation into a Corporation and the President is the President of that corporation known as The United Staes of America Corp.I tell you this so that you'll investigate for yourself!!! Goodluck and Godspeed.

[GreeneBellamy]

As a Mormon, we are taught to take the Constitution seriously.

Yet, right now, acts like the Patriot Act and other bills that have been passed by both Democrats and Republicans are destroying the liberty of America.

We are willing to give up our liberties for "economic safety" or for homeland security and protection.

Our Constitution is already been decimated. And only one candidate is willing to fight for it.. and it surprisingly isn't Romney.

Ron Paul should be any Mormon's serious choice.
